John Marshall Alumni Association Has an Endowment Fund? BY MICHELLE MADER Yes, a very small one compared to other schools. The intent of such a fund is to gain income from which the Assoc. could provide scholarships to graduating seniors. Although we do give out scholarships now, these are few in number and small in amount. The Association would like to make this fund grow because a hefty endowment fund would enable us to give need-based scholarships, academic scholarships, and talent-based scholarships. As the fund grows, we could even consider using some of the income to help fund activities at the school such as sending various groups of students to competitions throughout the country.

This type of endowment fund, completely separate from the Alumni Association’s operating fund, is common in private and parochial schools around the country. Alumni associations for schools in the greater Cleveland area that are roughly the same age as John Marshall High have funds with principal ranging from $30 million to $68 million. While such huge funds are more rare for public schools, endowment or scholarship funds ranging from $200,000 to $5 million do commonly exist. The JMH Alumni’s Endowment Fund has about $29,000.00.

Considering the vast number of JMH Alumni, building such a fund doesn’t have to be a chore. A small (or large) donation from each alumni member would get the fund off to a good start. Perhaps your estate planning could include a little thank you to your alma mater. There are tax advantages to giving to a fund of this sort. In addition, those giving very large donations might have the option of having a scholarship named after themselves or establishing a memorial scholarship.

The Association’s goal is to raise $1,000.000.00 over the next 3 years to get the fund rolling. You have the opportunity to help by making a contribution using the form in this newsletter. Let’s show everyone that you don’t have to graduate from a private/parochial school to be willing to give back to the educational community.

Please help! We’re constantly updating our database, enabling us to help out reunion committees. There are many JMH alumni who have never received the Alumni News, heard that their class was having a reunion, or even know that there is an Alumni Association. Several of you have brothers, sisters, cousins, parents, and children and some of you remain in contact with classmates that have attended JMH. It’s sad to say - they may be missing from our database. Would you please take the time now to give us an update on their current mailing address? We’re also trying to confirm the deceased members of the JMH family - reunion committees have a hard time with this area - so if you can supply a date of death (a copy of the OBIT would be helpful), it might prevent an embarrassing or upsetting phone call around reunion dates. Don’t forget to include class and year - if you don’t know it, take your best shot! To the ladies - please always include your maiden name with any correspondence. To the gentlemen - please list any name change or alteration of the spelling of your name. ______Name______Name______Name______Class Year ______Class Year ______Class Year ______If Deceased (date)______If Deceased (date)______If Deceased (date)______Address ______Address ______Address ______City/State/Zip ______City/State/Zip ______City/State/Zip ______Phone ( ) ______Phone ( ) ______Phone ( ) ______Comments ______Comments ______Comments ______15 John Marshall HighJOHN MARSHALLSchool HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI NEWS Non-Profit Alumni Association Organization U.S. Postage P.O.
